The causes, opportunities and challenges of migration will be discussed by Wuppertal's Lord Mayor Uwe Schneidewind, philosopher Prof Smail Rapic from the University of Wuppertal and Member of the Bundestag Helge Lindh - together with the audience. The event will be moderated by Prof Dr Rita Casale, educational scientist at the University of Wuppertal.
There is an intense and controversial debate in politics and the public about how to deal with refugees and migration. Marcel Fratzscher, one of Germany's leading economists, has pointed out that Germany is dependent on continuous immigration from abroad due to the increasing shortage of skilled labour. However, many people are concerned about this.
What problems arise when taking in refugees and migrants? How can these problems be solved? Participants will get to the bottom of questions like these at the event next Tuesday. The audience is invited to contribute their own questions and thoughts.
The Wuppertal Transformation Talks are an event format of the Centre for Transformation Research and Sustainability.
